NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
January 2016
Introduction
The primary mission of the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) is to reduce injuries and fatalities associated with consumer
products. For more than 30 years, the National Electronic Injury
Surveillance System (NEISS) has been an essential tool in identifying
the number and severity of consumer product-related injuries to
persons treated in hospital emergency departments in the United
States. This system has also served as a model for systems in other
countries that track injuries.
Your hospital was statistically selected to participate in the NEISS to
represent many similar hospitals in the United States. Practically
speaking, that means that every injury you report will be important not
only for itself, but because it will be multiplied by a weight to account
for similar injuries treated at the other hospitals you are representing.
Your reports lay the cornerstone in the effort to reduce injuries and
deaths from consumer products. It is essential that each report be as
complete and accurate as possible. Please follow these instructions
carefully.
General Instructions
The success of the NEISS depends upon accurate and timely data.
Care must be taken to identify, correctly code and successfully enter
into the computer, all appropriate cases. Most important is information
about the patient, the incident, the injury and the product(s) associated
with the injury. You will have to work closely with all persons who put
such information on emergency department records. It is only with their
help that you will be able to get accurate and complete data and
eliminate guesswork or inadequate product identification.
Reviewing Hospital
Records and
Selecting Cases to
Report
Each day (or each time you work on NEISS), review the records for all
emergency cases seen in your hospital since the last time you
reported to determine whether an in-scope injury or illness is
mentioned. Make sure that all cases that are part of the hospital’s
emergency system are reviewed for every treatment date. Be aware
that some places of emergency care may be physically separate from
the main emergency department in the hospital. For example, consider
visits for emergency care to the adult and pediatric emergency
department, the trauma center, the burn center, and occupational
clinics. Include all fatalities for which an emergency department record
was completed. Also include all emergency department cases where
the patient was later admitted for hospitalization in the same facility or
transferred to a different facility.

General NEISS Reporting Rule
Do Report
All consumer product-related emergency visits to your hospital,
including emergency department cases, hospital admissions, trauma
center and burn center cases, and cases transferred to other hospitals.
Definitions
A consumer product is any article produced or distributed for use by
a consumer in or around a home, school or recreational area.
Product-related is defined to include:
• all poisonings and chemical burns to children under 5 years of
age, and
• all injuries where a consumer product, sport, or recreational
activity is associated with the reason for the visit or related to a
condition treated.
• illnesses only if a consumer product/activity is associated with
the onset of the illness.
Reportable consumer products, sports, and recreational activities are
listed in the Coding Manual and the Coding Committee Index. If a
product cannot be found in the Coding Manual and you believe it is
reportable, it can be reported with temporary product code 9999,
pending assignment of an appropriate product code. However, use
product code 5555 instead of 9999 for poisonings and chemical burns
to children under 5 years of age.
Some specific examples of scenarios which qualify for NEISS and
should be reported are listed below:
•
Poisonings (ingestions) and chemical burns to children under
age 5 associated with drugs, medications or any other
substances.
• Injuries that occur during sports or recreational activities.
• Injuries associated with bicycles, even if a motor vehicle was
involved.
• Injuries associated with stairs, ramps, floors, walls, elevators,
escalators, etc., wherever available for use by consumers.
• Injuries that mention any kind of infant or nursery equipment.
• Injuries associated with toys and games.
• Burns, anoxia or other injuries that result from fires of fabrics,
household goods, home heating and cooling equipment, etc.
Injuries involving non-consumer products that qualify for special
studies. For example, injuries involving firearms qualify for a special
study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. See
instructions for special studies.
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
January 2016
It is not necessary to determine that a product was at fault to
report an associated injury. Please report all cases that meet the
criteria listed above. If in doubt, report it. Do not hesitate to call your
CPSC headquarters representative for guidance (1-800-638-8095).
Do Not Report
Injuries associated with products listed as Do not report in the
alphabetic listing of the NEISS Coding Manual.
Injuries associated with products not covered by CPSC and not
included in a special study:
• automobiles and motorcycles
• trains, boats or planes.
• food
• illegal drugs
• medical devices
Injuries associated only with drugs, medicines, cosmetics, or
pesticides EXCEPT do report poisonings or chemical burns to
victims under age 5.
Assaults and suicide attempts EXCEPT do report cases if victim and
perpetrator are age 12 and under.
Occupational injuries.
Injuries previously treated in this or any other hospital.
Some specific examples of scenarios that do not involve consumer
products and/or do not qualify for NEISS and should not be reported
are listed below:
Accidents where no consumer product is involved.
Examples:
"Fell to ground."
"Fell on curb."
"Arm jerked by parent."
"Hit by rock."
"Fell on concrete sidewalk."
Injuries or illnesses from live plants, trees, shrubs, etc.
Injuries from local government equipment or fixtures such as fire
hydrants, telephone poles, traffic signs, commercial mail boxes,
sidewalks, streets, etc.
Injuries from pieces of broken glass, pieces of metal, or other parts of
products where the product is unknown.

Coding and Data Entry
Each day (or periodically) review all the hospital records of emergency
visits to the hospital and code each in-scope case. Be sure to include
all reportable cases for treatment dates since the last time you coded
cases.
Data entry will be easier if you group the emergency department
records by the date of treatment.
Report only the first visit for a particular injury. If, however, the patient
returns to the emergency department (even on the same day) with an
injury or illness UNRELATED to the first incident, code each of the
visits separately.
Specific Coding Instructions
Please read the following section very carefully. However thorough we
try to be, we cannot foresee all possible problems in reporting cases
for NEISS. If you have any questions, your Commission
Representative will be very glad to help you. The CPSC toll-free
number is: 1-800-638-8095. There is a section for each of the
variables to be reported:

Each case treated on a specific date must have a unique record
number for NEISS.
You can use up to eight digits for your emergency department (ED)
record or case numbers.
Example:
ED Case Number
12345678
Code
12345678
If your hospital uses more than eight digits for its case numbers, code
only the LAST eight digits.
Example:
ED Case Number
956781234
Code
56781234
Do not code any letters of the alphabet, which may appear in your
hospital's case number. Substitute zeros for any letters.

Date of Birth
Whenever available, enter the date of birth for the patient. This will
automatically calculate and insert the age of patient.
Age of patient
(3 spaces)
When the date of birth is not available, the age of the patient must be
entered. For children under two years old, record the age in months.
To show that the age is in months instead of years, put a "2" in the first
space of the age code. Code the age of infants in "completed months;"
e.g., code the age of infants who are four to seven weeks old as one
month. Code the age of infants who are less than one month old as
one month.

If a patient is transgender or intersex, code the patient’s sex based on
how it is entered into the hospital medical record.
Diagnosis
(2 spaces)
The diagnosis codes are listed in the table which follows. Use the
attending physician's diagnosis to determine the nature of an injury.
If the attending physician's diagnosis is missing, use diagnostic
information provided by a medical professional to select the
appropriate code. If the record contains no diagnosis by medical
personnel, review the patient's complaint and the treatment given to
arrive at the most logical diagnosis.
However, do not assume that the diagnostic words used at your
hospital are always the appropriate words for a NEISS diagnosis.
Carefully review the NEISS rules for coding the specific types of
diagnoses that follow to learn how to interpret and report selected
incidents. For example, the physician's diagnosis may be "ingested 15
iron supplement pills." For NEISS, the diagnosis is "poisoning." A word
such as "anoxia" may be stated in the ED record when the victim has
inhaled fumes from bleach. Again, the NEISS code for this is
"poisoning" (inhaled vapors, fumes or gases) according to the
definitions below. Use all appropriate medical information available
together with your understanding of the NEISS diagnosis reporting
rules to code the injury diagnosis for NEISS. Of course do not hesitate
to call your NEISS representative whenever you have a question on
coding.
When more than one diagnosis appears on the emergency department
record, code the one that seems to be the most severe. Others should
be noted in the Comments.
If diagnosis code 71 (Other/Not Stated) is entered, the cursor will tab
to a “Diagnosis Other” field. You will be required to enter a text string
into this field that will describe the diagnosis.
Since we are especially concerned with injuries to children, if there
was a poisoning or chemical burn to a child under 5 years from a
product that is not listed in the Coding Manual, report the case using
product code 5555.
Appendix B contains additional diagnosis cross references.

Discussion of Selected Diagnoses
ANOXIA: Use code 65, Anoxia, when the patient cannot obtain
sufficient oxygen, either due to hampered breathing or lack of oxygen
itself. Code anoxia when:
The diagnosis is strangulation, suffocation or asphyxia.
The patient has inhaled products of combustion, such as carbon
monoxide (CO), smoke, soot, etc. (e.g. from a house fire, heating
appliance or camping equipment).
ASPIRATED FOREIGN OBJECT: Use code 42, Aspirated foreign
object, when an object causes choking or is caught in the nose, lungs
or the airways in between the nose and the lungs.* The object should
generally be one that does not lead to poisoning or anoxia (inability
to obtain oxygen). Examples of such objects are thumbtacks, beads,
miniature light bulbs, and even pills. If the victim chokes while being
fed liquids and the hospital record describes the event as an
aspiration, then the aspiration code may be used.
(*We do not consider the esophagus to be part of the airway.)
BURN INJURIES: Try to get information about the kind of burn
(chemical, electrical, scald, thermal, radiation). If the attending
physician's diagnosis is inadequate, one can sometimes deduce the
type of burn from the kind of incident and product(s) involved.
Scenario
Code
Burns from hot water, liquid, or steam.
48, Scald burn
Contact with acids, alkalies or caustics.
49, Chemical burn
Chemical ignited causing injury from
resulting flames.
51, Thermal burn
Burns from flammable liquids (gasoline,
kerosene or lighter fluid) which ignited.
51, Thermal burn
NOTE: For thermal burns, indicate in the Comments if the burn came from flames
or a hot surface.
Burns from arcing, electrical products.
46, Electric burn
Burn caused by exposure to sun lamp
73, Radiation burn
Burn caused by touching the hot
surface of lamp
51, Thermal burn
Pulmonary burns
62, Internal organ
injury

NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
January 2016
CHOKING: If the ONLY diagnosis is "choking" and the Object that
caused it is insoluble (e.g., a toy) or semi-soluble (e.g., putty), code 42,
Aspirated foreign object.
HEAD INJURIES: Internal head injuries, such as subdural
hematomas or cerebral contusions, should be coded as Internal organ
injury (62). Concussions have a separate diagnosis code (52).
External head injuries, such as scalp lacerations, should be coded
accordingly. Please note that ‘hematoma to the head’ typically refers
to an external head injury and should be coded hematoma (58).
When coding head injuries, code the most severe and specific
diagnosis given. If there is no specific diagnosis for the head injury,
use internal organ injury (62). For example, if a patient hit his head but
left the ED before an ED diagnosis was recorded, use internal organ
injury (62).
INGESTED FOREIGN OBJECT: Use code 41, Ingested foreign object,
only when BOTH of the following conditions are met:
The patient has swallowed an insoluble, solid object; that is, an item
that will not dissolve in liquid, and
The swallowed object is not likely to cause poisoning.
Some commonly swallowed objects are coins, toy parts, buttons, nails,
crayons. The foreign object may or may not have lodged somewhere
inside the body.
The esophagus is not considered part of the airway; therefore,
anything lodged in the esophagus should be coded as an ingestion.
POISONING: Code 68, Poisoning, should be used when a patient:
Swallowed either a liquid or soluble chemical or drug/medication.
(Chemicals that may cause poisoning include liquids such as furniture
polish, bleach, lighter fluid, paint, gasoline and alcohol. Poisoning can
also be caused by such non-liquid household substances as charcoal,
powder detergents, toilet bowl cleaning tablets, spackling compounds
and solid room deodorizers. These substances dissolve in liquid.)
Inhaled vapors, fumes or gases (e.g. from chemicals, cleaners or
fuels). (Exception: vapors from carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke from
fires are coded as Anoxia.)
Swallowed either a liquid or soluble chemical or drug and had an
“allergic reaction” (including swelling, skin rashes, etc.)

OTHER/NOT STATED: If none of the listed diagnoses in Appendix B
is appropriate, use code 71, Other/Not Stated. Whenever you use
diagnosis code 71, please record the actual diagnosis in the
DIAGNOSIS OTHER text field.
Body Part Affected
(2 spaces)
Use the codes in the table which follows for the body part affected in
the product related incident. Also see Appendix C. The body part
diagram in Appendix D will help you visualize more clearly the
boundaries of such parts as lower trunk, upper arm, etc.
In general, if an injury affects more than one body part, code the body
part that seems to be most seriously hurt. Then, mention other body
parts in the Comments.
Special rules for back injuries, burn injuries, extremity injuries, eye
injuries, head injuries and injuries which affect the entire body are
discussed in the section which follows the body part table.

Discussion of Body Part Affected for
Selected Injuries
BACK INJURIES: For a diagnosed back injury, if possible determine
whether the upper back (upper trunk/thoracic vertebrae), code 31, or
lower back (lower trunk/lumbar vertebrae), code 79, was involved and
code accordingly. Use the waist or navel as the dividing line to
differentiate between upper and lower trunk. If the diagnosis simply
says "Back injury," use code 31, Upper trunk. (Note: For cervical
vertebrae, use Neck, code 89.)
BURN INJURIES:
1. If only one body part was injured, code that body part. If
more than one body part was injured, generally code the
body part with the most severe injury.
2. For burns involving up to 25% of the body, code the most
severely burned body part.
3. For burns covering 25% to 50% of the body, use code 84.
4. For burns covering more than 50% of the body surface, use
code 85.
EXTREMITY INJURIES: For a diagnosed arm or leg injury, if possible
determine whether the upper arm (code 80) or lower arm (code 33), or
upper leg (code 81) or lower leg (code 36), was involved and code
accordingly. If the diagnosis simply says "Arm injury" or “Leg injury,”
use code 33, lower arm, or code 36, lower leg.
EYE INJURIES:
1. For injuries to eyelids, eyebrows, or the area immediately
around the eyes, use code 76, Face.
2. For an injury to the eye itself, use code 77, Eyeball.

The PC-NEISS program provides two 4-digit spaces for coding up to
two products involved in an injury. Consult the alphabetic product
code listing and select the most appropriate product code(s). We
believe that all consumer products can be classified using the codes in
the alphabetical index. However, if you need assistance in deciding on
the correct coding of a case, use 9999 or call your NEISS
representative for assistance. Your NEISS representative will call or
send a message back to you providing guidance on how to code the
case.
When only one product is associated with an injury, place the product
code for that product in the space allocated for "First Product Code"
and fill in the "Second Product Code" spaces with 4 zeros (0000).
When two products are associated with an injury, either product may
be coded as the first product and the other as the second product.
Example: An 11-year old boy riding a bicycle ran into a swing.
Code: Product 1 = 5040 (bicycle) and Product 2 = 3246 (swings) or
Code: Product 1 = 3246 (swings) and Product 2 = 5040 (bicycle)
Exception: When two products involved in an incident are the same
product, do not code a second product; simply fill in the "Second
Product Code" spaces with zeros. For example, if two skateboard
riders collide, code skateboard, 1333, for the first product and 0000 for
the second product.
Product Information
Needed
Whenever possible, report specific products rather than general types
of products; for example: electric oven, electric scissors.
As another example, try to learn whether an injury from a saw involved
a chain saw, a portable circular saw, a radial arm saw, a hand saw, a
saber saw, etc.
To get such detailed information, coders should continually
encourage hospital admissions clerks, nurses and physicians to
record specific product detail. If you cannot get this kind of detail,
at least try to emphasize the need to know whether the product
was powered or motorized (gas, electric) or unpowered or manual
(e.g. power saw vs. hand saw).
If a product is not specified as "electric," "powered," or "motorized," do
not assume it is. Use the "Not otherwise specified" code or if there is
none, then you may use the code for the manual product.

Assignment of
Product Code
January 2016
The product code section of this manual provides an alphabetical
listing of products and their corresponding NEISS product code
numbers. When product code names include more than one product,
there is an alphabetic listing for each product.
Example:
Bedspreads, throws or comforters
is also listed as
Comforters
Use: Bedspreads, throws or comforters
and
Throws
Use: Bedspreads, throws or comforters

0667
In addition, the alphabetic list also includes products that are similar to
the coded products but whose names are not part of the title.
Example:
Afghans
Use: Bedspreads, throws or comforters
Handbags
Use: Clothing accessories
Specific Product
Codes
0667
1647
Consult the alphabetic NEISS Product Codes section of the Coding
Manual for the specific product code. When words such as electric,
gas, portable are used in the ED record, first look up the product itself.
For example, look up "Saws" rather than "Power saws," and look up
"Blankets" rather than "Electric blankets."
When more than one code exists for a particular type of product you
are directed to choose among the various eligible codes, as shown
below for pillows:
Example:

“Other” Products in
a Category
January 2016
The code for Other named products, as in "Other baby carriers," for
example, is used only when the ED record identifies a specific product,
but there is no code given for that particular product.
Example:
Portable infant seat
Apron
1549, Other baby carriers
1677, Other clothing
When you select a product code with the "Other" in the title, please
describe the particular product in the Comments.
“Not Specified”
Product in a
Category
If there is no description of the product to help you choose a specific
code or an "Other" code, you may have to use a "Not specified" code.
Not all product groups have a "Not specified" code. In those cases,
choose the best code from among those listed.
Example:
Soldering Irons

“New” Product
Codes for Consumer
Products Not Found
in Manual
January 2016
When coding poisoning cases and chemical burns for children under 5
years of age, use the appropriate product code listed in the alphabetic
section. If the product is not a consumer product, or if the product is
unknown, and you cannot locate an appropriate product code in the
alphabetic listing, report the case using product code 5555.
If you believe a case involves a consumer product, but you cannot
determine an appropriate product code, or you have a coding question
about any case and are not able to discuss the case with your NEISS
representative, you may use code 9999 temporarily. NEISS
Headquarters staff will review these cases and determine whether 1) a
current NEISS product code can be used, or 2) a new product code
should be added to the Manual. In either case, your NEISS
representative will contact you after reviewing the case.

Product Coding for Special Types of
Incidents
Listed below are some situations which require special coding
treatment.
Flammable Fabrics
If a burn or smoke inhalation injury results directly from a flammable
fabric, code (up to) two products involved by coding:
The source of the fire (such as stove, portable room heater, camping
lantern, or other fire-causing item), and
The first item to ignite (such as blanket, clothing, draperies, slipcover,
etc.)
Remember, for NEISS it does not matter which item is coded the first
product or the second product.
In the field labeled "Fire", enter code 1, 2 or 3 to indicate that the
incident involved smoke inhalation, unexpected flames or smoke, or
unexpected spread of flames or smoke and whether the fire
department attended. (See the section on Fire Involvement.)
House Fires
In the case of a house fire and/or smoke inhalation where no specific
product is identified, use product code 1866 (General home or room
involvement in fires) as the first product code. Use this code, for
example, when the emergency department record describes the
incident as "house fire" or "fire in the basement" and no other
information is available. If there is a house fire and a specific
consumer product is identified, code the specific consumer product
only. If the fire involved a firearm (1935, 3224, or 3253), code both
1866 and the firearm.
Again, use code 1866 for First Product only when the record does not
mention a product.
Enter code 1, 2 or 3 in the "Fire" column to indicate that the incident
involved smoke inhalation, unexpected flames or smoke, or
unexpected spread of flames or smoke and whether the fire
department attended. If known, state the particular room involved (e.g.
bathroom, living room) in the COMMENTS whenever product code
1866 is used.

21
www.cpsc.gov
NEISS – National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
Product Fires
January 2016
A product fire can be extensive (fire/flames) or limited (with
smoldering/smoke). Code the specific product(s) involved.
Enter code 1, 2 or 3 under the “Fire” column to indicate that the
incident involved smoke inhalation, unexpected flames or smoke, or
unexpected spread of flames or smoke and whether the fire
department attended.
Hot Water
When an injury involves hot water, code the source of the water (e.g.,
teakettle, sink, bathtub, etc.) as one product and use 1934, Hot water,
as the other product code.
Scenario
Product Code
Child scalded by hot water
spilled from a teapot
0453, Coffee maker or teapots,
not specified and
1934, Hot water
Child scalded by hot water in the
shower
0611, Bathtubs or showers and
1934, Hot water
Note: If there is no specific product information for a hot water injury,
code 1934, Hot water, as the "First Product" and fill in the "Second
Product" code spaces with zeros.
Carbon Monoxide
When an injury involves carbon monoxide poisoning, and the source is
unknown, use product code 1899. A second product code may be
used as long as it is not the source of the carbon monoxide (i.e.,
carbon monoxide detector.
If carbon monoxide poisoning occurred in a garage, do not assume the
source of the carbon monoxide was a motor vehicle unless there is
evidence to support this assumption.
Gas Fumes or
Gas Vapors of
Unknown Origin
When an injury involves gas fumes or vapors, and the source is
unknown, use product code 1898. A second product code may be
used as long as it is not the source of the gas fumes or vapors .
